[justmosswrites]

ohh brother here we go. once you start writing fanfiction there’s no going back 😔

*sigh* anyways here’s part one

“Sophie. It’s over.”

Sophie opened her eyes, waiting for her vision to clear. Keefe was crouching in front of her, looking her over with concern. The rest of the group were scattered around, pacing or sitting on the ground or staring off into space. 

“What—“ Sophie began. 

“We did it,” Keefe said. “We defeated the Neverseen. It’s over.”

Sophie stood up shakily, unaware of when she had fallen down. Everyone looked okay, albeit a bit beat up. Ogre bodies littered the ground, and the bodyguards were clearly trying not to look at them. Sophie averted her eyes too. 

“What about your mom?” she asked Keefe. He winced. 

“She— she’s over there.” He pointed behind Sophie, and she turned around. 

There was Gisela, lying on the ground, her chest rising and falling shallowly. Ro was standing over her, keeping a close eye on her. But Gisela clearly wasn’t going anywhere. 

Sophie walked slowly over to her. Gisela coughed a bit, turning to face Sophie. Despite how weak and battered she was, she grinned at Sophie. 

“So the moonlark has finally decided to finish the job. It took you long enough, you know. I’m sure you’re feeling great that you’ve finally defeated me. I’m sure you’re itching to lock me away for a million years. But my son’s legacy will be completed, no matter how hard you try to stop me.” 

Sophie just stared at her, stone-cold. This seemed to unsettle Gisela, and her smile faltered for just a second, but she plastered it back on and continued. 

“No bodyguards coming over to protect you, huh? They certainly have a lot of faith in you. Really, it’s good that they’re starting to trust you—because they’ll never be able to protect you. Not from what truly matters. Stellarlune is forever. I’ve escaped before, and I’ll escape again. You can throw me in Exile and try to shatter my mind until there’s not a whisper of me left, but I’ll keep holding on. The wheels will keep turning. No matter what you do to try and stop me, this will never end until I get what I want.”

Sophie took a deep, steadying breath, knowing what she had to do. “You know, you’re talking so much about escaping. As if we’re going to lock you away somewhere. As if we’re going to make the same mistakes again. But that’s not how this ends. This ends right here, right now.”

And with that, she drove Hope straight into Gisela’s chest. 

For the first time, Sophie saw true fear in Gisela’s eyes. She tried to choke out some last words, probably something intended to be haunting and memorable, but the life drained from her before she could get the words out. 

It took all of Sophie’s strength not to collapse, to let the roaring in her ears wash over her, but she managed to walk away towards the group. None of them had been looking in her direction, but they all knew. Keefe sat in the middle of them, shaking. He looked up at Sophie. 

“It’s over,” he said. It wasn’t a question. Sophie nodded. He closed his eyes, took a deep, shaky breath, then nodded. “Good. It has to be this way. I’m just glad…”

Sophie didn’t need to be a Telepath to know where he was going with that. I’m just glad it didn’t have to be me. 

~~~

The group returned home to chaos. Fitz had briefly hailed Alden before Sophie teleported them back to Havenfield. The parents, Elwin, Livvy, the Black Swan, and all twelve Councillors were waiting for them, and as soon as they crashed through the void, they rushed them. 

Sophie just stood there as kids ran into their parents’ arms, as Elwin and Livvy checked them for injuries, as Grady and Edaline wrapped her in a big hug and broke down into tears. She couldn’t hear, couldn’t think, couldn’t move. She was aware of her surroundings as if they were happening to someone else, as if she was watching from the back of her mind. And there was a roaring in her ear, like the winds of a hurricane. It was drowning out the sounds around her, and it was only getting louder.

After everyone finally settled down a bit and the kids had told everyone what had happened, attention turned towards Sophie. She was sitting in the corner, unmoving. 

“Sophie?” Edaline asked tentatively. “Are you okay?” 

Sophie looked up at them. She tried to respond, to scream that NO, NO SHE WASN’T OKAY, SHE HAD JUST TAKEN HUMAN LIFE. NOTHING WOULD EVER BE OKAY AGAIN. But there was a thick wall keeping her words from coming out. It felt kind of like when Keefe had accidentally numbed her—she was aware of the emotions she should be experiencing, but they weren’t happening. She was feeling everything and yet nothing at all.

Everyone looked at her with concern. Elwin walked over to her, crouching down next to her. “Sophie? What’s wrong? How can we help?”

She wanted to respond, but she couldn’t. The roaring in her ears had only gotten louder. She could barely hear Elwin talking. So she just stared at him dully.

“Someone needs to check her mind now,” Bronte barked. Fitz scrambled to his feet and rushed over to her. He put his hands on her temples. Sophie could feel him rooting around in her brain, and it was making her head hurt, but she was too tired to stop him. His brow furrowed as he exited her mind. 

“Well, it’s definitely not normal in there, but I don’t think she’s broken,” he said. “I think she’s just in distress. Or in shock, or something. It’s probably fine.”

Everyone seemed satisfied with this and continued what they had been doing, except for Edaline, Grady and Keefe. Keefe walked over to her and sat next to her. 

“So… that was pretty heavy, huh,” he said to her. She didn’t even turn to look at him, which clearly worried him. “Sophie, are you okay?”

Again, she didn’t respond. She couldn’t. She could barely hear him. It was like he was talking underwater, or in the middle of a huge storm. She buried her head in her knees and plugged her ears, begging the noise to stop, but it only got louder. 

She felt a hand on her shoulder, then her hand in his. She could feel him send her a green breeze, but it hit her brain and twisted into something sharp. It shredded her brain, and she yelped and pulled her hand away, clawing at her scalp. It hurt. She knew this wasn’t how it was supposed to be, and that freaked her out even more. 

Keefe was staring at her with horror. “I’m sorry! I don’t know what I did!” She saw his hands shaking, and she wanted to reach out and steady them, but there were shards of glass in her brain and they hurt like hell and she needed them out. Besides, her hands were shaking too.

Grady and Edaline rushed over and helped Sophie to her feet. “I think Sophie needs to lay down,” Edaline said calmly, though her voice was shaky. “Why don’t I take her upstairs and we can reconvene tomorrow?” 

Keefe was still looking at her with fear in his eyes. She wished she could reassure him—he was probably having the worst night of his life, and she was only making it worse—but she was too far gone. She could only hope to make it to her room at this point. Sophie looked at the ground as she made her way up the stairs, guided by Grady and Edaline, but she could feel everyone’s eyes on her. 

When Sophie got to her room, she sank onto the edge of her bed, clutching at the sheets. Grady and Edaline stared at her worriedly. 

“Things will be better in the morning, Sophie,” Edaline reassured her. “Get some sleep, okay?”

She didn’t move. Edaline bit her lip, then closed the door. Sophie could hear them talking to Sandor outside her room. He reassured them about something, then they went downstairs. 

As soon as she couldn’t hear the footsteps anymore, Sophie collapsed to the floor. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could hold on. The roaring built and built, until she couldn’t hear anything else. She covered her ears, closed her eyes, and finally let the chaos swirling around her mind wash over her. 

heyyyyy so the brainrot is getting to me 😊✌️✨ does anyone want me to post my three-part fanfic of Sophie’s mind shattering?

[theplatypusblue]

Okokok dragons rising s2p2 REWATCH thingy it’s mostly me noticing small details and shit I missed the first time. Ramble-y at points lol

Many many big spoilers below (also it’s long)

Ok so like….. first episode it gets established that all the dragon tribes fall under the jurisdiction of each of the source dragons…. Neato. More world building shenanigans

WYLDFYRE PEAK YIPPEE. Nya said Lloyd was helping her with her precision, and there’s this really cute animation moment where’s she’s firing her flames like she’s shooting a gun lol

Ok so like Frak taught Arin how to make Merlopian Berry Crème pie…. Frak is merlopian question mark(?) (I don’t think it makes sense timeline wise lol don’t listen to me)

I like the scene of Zane training it reminds me a little bit of that scene from all the back in s1 where’s he’s just tuning everybody out

So like the tournament thingy takes place at the same spot as that flashback with Wu and Bonzle in season 1 (maybe?) I wonder why Wu was hanging out there so long ago lol. (I mean lily might have been at the last one too but like who knows)

ROBY PEAK!!!! My only issue with him and Bleckt is that I wish the writers would’ve really hammed up the comedy between the two. Made them just completely unserious. Would’ve made Bleckts betrayal a little more impactful maybe. (Imagine a bunch of goofy cartoony gags between the two, only for the eventual reveal that bleckt actually genuinely wants roby dead. Woulda been crazier)

Ok so seven headed source dragon thingy. It’s either symbolism like roby said or we are eventually gonna build up to an ultra-dragon adjacent situation. Somehow. Idk how. But maybe it would be cool

Ok random thought. I think it’s pretty clear at this point that elemental powers come from and are associated w the source dragons. You can extrapolate the connections (fire and heat come from motion, plants is probably from life, etc). I think you can remedy the whole “the new elemental powers are stupid” thing by thinking about them more as the elements of the source they are associated with , rather than elemental powers in the traditional sense of our world (If that distinction makes sense lol idk how to explain it non-stupidly. It’s just a matter of framing)

That being said, I really like zant-tanz lol I think it’s his voice teehee. Silly whimsical snail man. Shame he had to get kicked out but then again…. He had some rock stacking to do at home

Ok ok ok I think some parts of the Jay fight are kinda lame (“and I will always hate you” 🙄) but things make more sense from jays perspective I think. Imagine you’re coming from a place where everyone devalued ur individuality and didn’t care abt you as a person, and then you come to this tournament where ur opponent (who ur literally fighting against in this ~tournament~) suddenly starts telling you you’re the love of their life n stuff (and ur also being manipulated but besides that even). I would also just assume that they’re being weird and try to kick their ass.

“Not sure I can pull it off… it’s arriving too soon” what exactly was Wu trying to pull off lol? crazy theory time 100% NOT real NOT going to happen: Wu is trying to bring someone (I’m betting his dad) back from the dead, cuz like departed realm shenanigans and the merge maybe. But we also don’t really know how departed realm stuff works yet, so there’s not much we can extrapolate from there. Idk.

I’m sorry but I always think it’s really cool when cinder bounces people around like a basketball teehee. He’s a very fun character to watch during fights.

Similar-ish point to my Jay spiel from 2 seconds ago but like. Arin’s convo w Frak abt how shatterspin is super evil actually makes me laugh a little bit. Cuz Arins going on about like “oh dude it ~~shatters your goodness~~ you can’t ever do shatterspin” and internally Frak is like “is this guy actually fr” lmao. On my first watch through I was literally like “Arin stop you sound so fucking brainwashed rn” shfjfjjfkfkgkgla

Ok ok so Ras wanted all the elemental powers so he could get a dragon icon somehow…. Lloyd just got his gifted to him tho. (Might be another matter of force vs harmony — you can either do all the hard work to get all the powers and make ur own icon, or the source dragons will just like. Give you an icon. If ur cool enough or whatever)

Dragon Ivory stores powers, dragon horns can give u power but then they make u angry or smthn… dragon ivory can also be used to communicate w the nether space….... hhhrrrnnngg dragon lore im trying to make it make sense in my brain hrrrnngg

Frak is so nice and respectful he’s such a good guy lol (I have to DRAW HIM. Being COOL. Because he IS. I’ll get to it eventually)

Small nitpick but like. The way the tournament is organized kinda makes no sense….. cuz all the plot relevant fights involving the ninja happen at the beginning, so they’ve been in multiple fights and get multiple powers. Then there’s a montage of them fighting other elemental masters who only have one power. So the whole thing is actually completely unbalanced and unfair. Turns out Roby does suck at organizing tournaments lol

God that one shot of nokt running at the camera hunting the arc dragon is so fucking perfect the colors are just mmmmmmhhhh so good I gotta redraw it I gotta redraw it so baddddddddhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhh the final couple of fights the composition and the coreography were sooooo good we are backkkkkk we are soooooooooo backkkkkkkkkkk

TLDR: I remember it being good and then I rewatched it and it was still good. Yayyyyyyyy

our love is god [ethan landry] pt. 2

read part 1 here || all parts

pairing: ethan landry x fem!reader

warnings: light angst, mention of drugs/alcohol

a/n: hey, thanks for all the love on the last part! i promise I'm not churning these out like crazy lol, i wrote the first chapter way before posting it here. not a lot of ethan in this one because we have to flesh out the lore, but i make up for it with some tara/sam angst! yippee!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I can’t believe it. I actually can’t believe it.” Chad’s eyes are wide with amazement. “Y/N, at a loss for words? Because of a guy?”

“Dude, I’m telling you, it happened!” Tara said.

I was beginning to get tired of this back and forth. 

Friday nights were usually fun, the whole gang gathered in Tara’s room, getting ready for the night’s festivities (in this case, a house party at the Woodsboro Community College), but today, my friends seemed more interested in rehashing today’s lunchtime events.

“Do you know what his name was?” Anika asks.

“Oh god, please don’t egg them on,” I groan. “No, I didn’t catch it.”

“Hey, he didn’t throw it, either,” Tara teases. “He was probably just as nervous. The dude could barely even make eye contact with her.”

Chad sits up on Tara’s bed. “What did you say he looked like?”

“Uh, tall, really tall. Curly brown hair? He was new, I’d never seen him before. And neither had Tara, so don’t chalk it up to my being a newcomer.”

“Wait. Oh my god.” Mindy suddenly chimes in. “I know who he is. His name is Ethan Landry, he’s in my American History.”

I can’t lie; I’m excited by this. “Really? Why haven’t we seen him before?”

“Because he just moved here.” She grins. “Hey, I thought you’d given up on high school boys, anyway.”

I tinge pink. “Never say never, I guess?”

Chad and Tara whoop. Anika rolls her eyes at them. “Do you think he’ll be there tonight?”

I scoff. “I doubt it. We already have to lie about being college students to get in, anyway.”

Tara’s eyes glimmer. “Hey, you never know. That means you have to get extra dressed up for tonight, just in case he’s there.”

I am not prepared for one of Tara’s evil-genius machinations, especially not a makeover. But I entertain the fantasy for a second too long, and she takes my silence as agreement. 

That’s how I find myself in one of Tara’s old dresses, a strappy black thing that hangs too low on my chest for my liking. After fighting over it for a long while, she eventually agrees to add a long-sleeved top underneath, if only to stop my whining.

Yet even though my getting-ready process was the most involved, I’m still the first one downstairs, which is typical. I’m debating whether or not to run for the hills and go home when Sam comes through the front door.

“Oh, hey, Y/N. Is Tara upstairs?” She sets down a few bags of groceries and turns to lock the four deadbolts freshly nailed to the door. 

“Hey, Sam. Yeah, she is. I think everyone will be down soon.”

There’s an uncomfortable energy between us. Sam has never liked me much. Not because of my character or anything, as Tara has reassured me, but she’s overly wary of outsiders ever since last year’s attack. I try not to blame her, but I can’t help but feel a little hurt when she keeps her distance, giving me a once-over instead of asking about my day.

The tension is broken when I hear the rest of the gang come down the stairs. Sam smiles when she sees Tara, but it fades when she notices that we’re all dressed up. “Hey, Tar, where are you guys going tonight?”

Tara shifts her weight from foot to foot. “My friend at Woodsboro Community College offered us an in, so… we’re taking advantage of our youth?”

Sam’s face darkens. “No. No way, Tar. You remember the last time someone had a party around here? We nearly died.”

“Jesus Christ, Sam,” Tara groans. “You were out of my life for five years now you can’t let me be alone for five minutes..”

I look at Chad, uncomfortable. He slightly shakes his head at me– better not to interfere.. Still, I feel like I have to say something. “Hey, Tara, maybe she’s right, we could just–”

Tara whips around to glare at me. “You’ve got to be kidding, Y/N. Butt the fuck out.” Her words sting, but I step back and sit on the couch.

“I’m not interested in living in the fucking past, Sam,” she continues. “I’m not gonna let what happened to me for three days define me for the rest of my life.”

Sam is quiet. I expect her to snap, to yell at all of us, but she just stares at Tara for a few seconds.

Finally, she picks up her bag again. “Alright. Fine. Go to the party, bring your taser, or not, I don’t care. I won’t be here when you get back.”

Tara’s eyes widen. “Wait, Sam. Wait. I’m sorry, I–”

“No, it’s really fine.” She glances around the room, where the rest of us are trying to blend into the shadows. “I hope you guys have fun. If some psycho killer tries to get you, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

With that, she marches upstairs, and I hear her bedroom door slam and lock. 

No one knows what to say. Tara turns her back, and I see her wiping away angry tears. Without looking at us, she opens the front door. “Okay! Who’s ready?”

“Tara, are you sure that’s a good idea?” Anika says. “We can stay back if you want, I mean–”

“Nope! What I want is to get so shit-faced I don’t remember this conversation. Let’s go.”

My stomach still feels hollow, but I silently follow Tara out of the door. Anika and Mindy follow close behind. 

Chad takes a second before making up his mind. He grabs his keys. “Yeah, okay. Let’s go, then.”

Aphrodisiac with Nebula

A/N: Another Kinktober fic. Yippee!

This one’s written for the What If? Season 2 episode where Nebula’s a member of the Nova Corps. You don’t have to know the episode, but I do mention her being a part of the Nova Corps, so

Written with a gn!Reader in mind

Link to masterlist here

CW: established relationship; mentioned weaponized use of an aphrodisiac; making out; explicit sexual content; smut; dubcon bc of the aphrodisiac, but the consent would be there already; oral sex; Reader is not the one being fucked in this one; Nebula’s parts are AFAB; near overstimulation; ‘I love you’s; cuddling

711 words

“Hey, Nebs.”

No response.

You look up in confusion. You were sure you’d heard her come in. She always stops to give you a kiss as soon as she comes home.

But something about today feels different.

“Nebula?”

There’s a muffled sound from the bedroom. Worry spikes through you. With her job, you know there’s always a risk. Poison, injury, demotion. She’s a Nova Corps officer. The underground despises the Nova Corps. Anything could have happened.

“Nebs…?” You nudge the bedroom door open.

She’s curled on the bed, half naked. Shuddering and making soft whimpering sounds.

Your concern only increases. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

You sit on the edge of the bed, gently touching a hand to her arm. Her skin feels unnaturally warm.

She reacts immediately to your touch, letting out a soft gasp and grabbing your wrist. Yanking you down on top of her.

You yelp, landing awkwardly. But she pulls you up, sealing her mouth to yours in a bruising kiss. Even her mouth feels too warm.

“Fuck,” she breathes as she pulls back. “I need you.”

“Hey, hey, slow down!” You push yourself up, settling on her. “Nebs, what’s wrong? What happened? You’re burning up!”

She groans and grips your hips. “Someone hit me with something. I couldn’t identify it until it was already in my system.”

You cup her face, smoothing your thumbs over her cheeks. “Nebula. What were you hit with?”

“Some type of underground aphrodisiac.” She looks horrible, her face almost burning to the touch. She’s sweating so much, hips squirming under yours.

“An aphrodisiac… Like… Like the kind they just cracked down on?” You’d heard reports of the stuff. Too strong, lethal when used wrong. And the symptoms…

“No, not… Not that kind.” Her words come out a little slurred. She pulls you down for another kiss, moaning softly into your mouth. Her hands run across your body, feeling you up. “This one’s not as strong.”

You relax for a moment, returning the kiss. You make out for a few minutes, letting her touch you as she wants.

Slowly, you pull back, nuzzling your nose against hers. “What do you need, Nebs? I wanna help.”

“Mouth,” she whimpers. “I need your mouth.”

“Where?”

She guides you down. It’s not hard to guess from there.

You help her strip. She’s so sensitive, so noisy compared to her usual self. Just pulling off her clothes has her whining your name.

Maybe on a normal day, you’d tease her. Run your fingers through her slick folds and taste her at your leisure. But not today.

Today you get right to it, lapping up her slick with greedy enthusiasm. She tastes even better than normal; sweeter, but tangy. Like a fresh piece of fruit.

You revel in the taste, sucking and licking at her eagerly. She gasps and moans, gripping the sheets beneath her. You can feel the tension in her body, the way she’s so fiercely struggling not to squirm or move.

She wants to be good for you. She always does. It’s like a game for her. How long can she last before breaking?

Normally you’d play along. Let it play out how she wants. But right now, you’re just interested in the way she sounds. All breathy and needy. You’ve never heard your name said so wonderfully before.

You push her harder, sucking on her nub as you press two fingers into her hole. You grin at the way she clenches around you, finally cracking under the pleasure.

She squirms and arches, pressing further into your touch. You fuck her with your fingers even as you swirl your tongue around her nub.

She cums with a shriek of your name, gripping the sheets so tightly they rip. You don’t pull away immediately. Instead, you push her to the brink of overstimulation. Pulling back just before it gets to be too much.

You crawl up to cuddle her, pulling her into your arms. “You feeling better now?”

She’s panting softly, sweaty as all hell, but she’s no longer burning up. She nuzzles into your touch, letting out a soft sigh. “Yeah. All better.”

You kiss her forehead, rubbing your nose against hers. “I love you, Nebula.”

She relaxes against you, smiling slightly. “I love you too.”

It's Showtime! - June 2024 Devlog

Howdy! Cobalt here, for another devlog over It's Showtime. This month was actually really swell, especially since I got more of my adhd meds recently. So I should be getting way more done in the coming months, yippee!

Programming wise, not a lot was done this month I've mostly spent it changing a few things about the way the map is built. Particularly I'm gonna need to rebuild most of the first floor. However in the long run it should be for the better, for stuff like performance and making it easier to add more to it. I also just needed a break after all I did last month. I have created things like the base for the main menu, a proper testing room and a lot of coding for the cut scene system though!

Writing wise, a ton of progress was made. Most of the major writing for Chapter 1 is done! Or at least on a great first draft. So very soon Chapter 1 will be done writing wise. [For the record currently the in depth writing for Chapter 1 is 7,122 words long] Chapter 2 also had a significant amount of its in depth writing done, almost all of the 'intro' is written out but obviously I'm trying to focus more on Chapter 1 right now. Speaking of the other chapters and such. Chapter 2's summary is almost done, with some things just needing some elaborating or bridging with other parts of it. Chapter 3 has 3 thousand words written in its summary currently, so a lot of what goes on in that chapter has been written out. I recently had a ton of revelations about what is going to happen in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 has also had a lot added to its summary. Sadly, writing wise, I simply cannot reveal much more without getting into spoilers.

I've also been learning Blender a lot lately. I'm working on a few models, none of them for It's Showtime quite yet. [well besides the walls and floors for the first floor] However soon I'm gonna be trying to make Henry's first model and animations for the game. Probably won't be the final one used for the project, or even the one you'll see upon chapter 1's release, but we'll see. Sadly, a lot of this process is simply tutorials and looking things up, then double checking those things to make sure they can be used in Unity, aren't performance heavy and will work with the systems I've already got in place. Art wise, me and my partner have gotten a lot of fun concept art done.

We've also started a sketchbook purely for Encore! related drawings. We've got so much fun stuff to show you guys when more is done, but for now, I'd love to show off a proper look at Henry's design.

Here we have Henry's reference, specifically for his in-game appearance.

The sketchy reference made for modeling him out. Yes, he is tastefully nude in this appearance. That's just the way it has to be.

Then finally a rough run cycle I animated to show off his character and as practice for when the proper 3D gets made. I'm really proud of how this came out and I hope it gives you guys a good idea for what to expect from him character-wise. As always, feel free to ask any questions about this project and its story if you'd like. I'll do my best to answer them without giving too much away! See you next month!

It is night in a new world, and you've lost a dear friend.

notes & etc: reader, lee scoresby, and john parry. oneshot. HDM series. canon compliant with events of book 2. ambiguous relationships. angst!! more writer commentary at the end. 584 words. on Ao3 here

It’s unreasonable to have expected your choices to take you down any other path than this. You were always going to find yourself here.

Mist touches your skin, permeating through the relatively thin layers of your clothing and down through to your bones. You’d like to say that the cold air numbs your distress, shocks you enough to calm down and jolt out of it, but… truthfully, it has little effect on why you’re here, crying and swallowing shaky gulps of air with your arms around yourself and a silver turquoise ring in your fist. You don’t notice the osprey dæmon that soars overhead.

The soft sound of familiar footsteps draws another shuddering breath into your lungs, your hand wiping shaky and surreptitiously—you hope—at your cooling tears. You want to greet him, as you normally would, but you know your voice would betray you. Although, if he’s here right now, he already knows, and you’re taking much too long to say anything anyhow, and he’d be an idiot not to know anyway—

He comes to a stop near your shoulder.

“I hope you don’t mind,” he says in that smooth, enigmatically charming voice of his. “Sayan saw you, and I thought you might appreciate an ear.”

Your dry chuckle is exceptionally soggy, and you take a deep breath to steady yourself, breathing it out through your lips with closed eyes.

“Jopari,” you greet, looking out at the foreign stars. “It has been an exceptionally trying time. I don’t think I was ready.”

“Ah,” he says, and you can hear the rueful smile in the sound. “I don’t think most of us are.”

You turn to look at him over your shoulder. “John.”

You’ve come to know him well over these last years. Sayan can journey far, that’s true, but even a shaman with a witches dæmon is reluctant to part too far with their own very self, and shamans and witches alike need unassuming individuals to be their knowing eyes and hands in far off lands. None of you would never have gotten this far otherwise. So you understand immediately.

“You knew Lee would…” your throat closes up on the words.

“I did. I'm sorry.”

The tears come fresh, the heat of the saltwater on your face due to more than mere thermodynamics. It’s as if the anger at the man by your side is finding the only escape it can, through the water of your eyes, leaving room for growing dismay.

“Come back to the camp,” he says, nothing but gentle. “You’ll catch cold and we’ve a ways to go yet.”

You turn away again, looking down at the small furry body of your dæmon by your boot.

“Ah, so I will be continuing on further?” You regret the spiteful comment as soon as it leaves your mouth.

“This is not the world you’ll stop in,” John Parry says, cryptic as ever.

You turn to face him, the stones making their small sounds underfoot. He looks at you, sharp eyes apologetic. “I know you were close with Mr. Scoresby,” he says. “If there had been another way—”

“Then we wouldn’t win, in the end, would we?”

One side of his mouth lifts, once again rueful.

You sigh, and nod. The two of you walk back to your small, humble camp, and John, Jopari, Stanislaus Grumman and all his names, sits with you in silence by the fire. Before you know it, he will be dead, and you will be left behind to tell his son about him.

---------------------------------

i have sooo much fun facts about this reader in my head all of a sudden. in my mind they were a little bit in love with lee (a longtime friend) and john (platonically? romantically? we'll never know about either of these for either fella and neither will they bc theyre kinda messed up about it all!!) and they work with john and the witches towards asriel's big plan to Kill God. yippee!!

Breaking Bad Season 4 (MS Paint)

I'm watching Breaking Bad and drawing my experience on MS Paint with my mouse.

[Season 2] [Season 3]

These seasons keep getting more intense and packed with stuff that I fear this is going to become more text than drawing soon.

Ep1

You can't just give me my baby boy looking so cute and excited!!

OH GOD NO THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO ME AGAIN. I JUST GOT HERE, I'M ONLY 6 MINUTES IN.

EVEN VICTOR IS UPSET (and I like to believe It's because he likes Gale)

YEAH YOU SHOW THEM VICTOR FUCK YEAH

-- oh my god the rage you can feel off Gus right now. He's terrifying, I love him.

THIS DOWN VIEW IS SO POWERFUL. THE REDS AND THE DARK BLUES OOOOOOO Gus feeling like he's towering over them.

THIS SCENE IS SO GOOD HOLY SHIT.

I'm watching with such intensity

-- WHAT WHY WHAT WHAT WHAT

Ep2

-- money money money money money

-- aw they're actually trying to get clean- damn it Jesse

I hope they go back to rehab group

-- That poor roomba

-- Walt really just going to get himself killed honestly.

These shots just keep getting better and better. You're small and blue Walt.

-- OH SHUT UP WALT, YOU DID IT ALL FOR YOURSELF

Ep 3

-- Those bastards dare use Gale's coffee machine still.

Okay so I love Huell. I swear to god if he dies.... I can't handle it.

-- It takes one threat to Walts ego for him to finally agree to the car wash🙄

-- oh Marie is going to get herself arrested, 100%.

-- man poor Jesse. The spiral his life has gone down.

-- OH SHIT MARIE

I think she likes the colour purple. Just a feeling.

Ep 4

The things he has to put up with. He looks so fed up.

-- OH GOD HIS EAR

LMAO Walts face when Skyler says "We want them to understand why you'd do something so stupid"

GET HIM SKYLER, GET HIM AND HIS STUPID EGO

omg Gale, my baby. I'm sobbing I love this man. Singing Karaoke in Thailand living his best life.

-- YOU BETTER FEEL GUILTY WALT. YOU BETTER (He doesn't)

-- Man Walt, how can you not realise Jesse is god damn traumatised over that event and you're just trying to make him relive it.

Ep 5

I would love some chicken right now

-- I'M SOBBING GALE IS SO CUTE

-- Jesse & Mike roadtrip montage!

-- HE SAID IT! "YOU! ARE NOT THE GUY! YOU'RE NOT CAPABLE OF BEING THE GUY, I HAD A GUY BUT NOW I DON'T~ YOU! ARE NOT! THE GUY~" I've heard part of the breaking bad remix before I even saw the show.

-- I really struggle to tell if Walt genuinely cares for Jesse or if it's just because he can easily manipulate him.

-- Oh no, Walt is drunk and getting his ego destroyed. This isn't a good combo.

-- OH SNAP HANK IS FIGURING IT OUT

Ep 6

-- I sense a war about to happen. Don't mess with Gus and his stuff.

Big scary baby man with big ego wah wah

-- I don't think insulting Jesse is going to keep him on your side Walt

-- oh my god, Walt if you get those ladies killed because you don't want to clean... YOU'RE NOT EVEN HELPING THEM

This is the father/son duo I want

huuuuh?????

-- Walt you bastard, look what you did!

-- Does Gus actually see potential or is this manipulation???

Ep 7

-- I miss Huell, when do we get more Huell.

-- My god Walt, if you dare ask Jesse to kill for you again

-- I'm fist-fighting Walter White

-- oooh sly Hank, very sneaky. Also I just love Gus in his yellow uniform.

He's just sat there like :T

DAMN HANK!!! Great at his job, holy shit

Ep 8

-- I'm sure Gus will find a way out of this since he has a lot of contacts and he's smart

-- I think Hank is getting a bigger target on his back

-- HUELL!! YIPPEE

This is beautiful

-- OOOH LOOK AT YOUNGER GUS!!! CUTE!!!

-- OH MY GOD

Ep 9

-- Oh Skyler honey, I don't think you realise he can't quit even if he wants to. He screwed up any chance of that, It's either make meth or death

-- UH OH TED OH NO SKYLER I KNEW IT'D COME BITE YOU IN THE ASS

-- HOLY SHIT MOVE JESSE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET SNIPED

OH DAMN OMG GUS HOLY WHAT

-- ooh please say Saul walks in, pleaaase- Oh Skyler, that's unexpected. Oh my god is she playing dumb???? OH MY GOD

-- Jesse you need to stop throwing your DNA covered cigarettes everywhere

-- Walt is making me so mad omg. His ego and paranoia are going to make him end up alone

Ep 10

-- I wonder what Gus's plan is, I'm sure there is more to it than just sending Jesse away

-- HELL YEAH JESSE DAAAAMN Making Gus and Mike proud

-- TED OH MY GOD

-- Oh I'm so nervous

-- Please be poisoned, please be poisoned - wait no GUS no don't be poisoned aaaaah

I'm so scared, how are they getting out of this

-- OMG OMG OMG OMG HOLY SHIT

Ep 11

He's so happy with his revenge

-- God I thought he was going to hit him with that chair for a moment

-- HUELL WOOOO

-- OMFG TED - okay he's still alive(?)

"Does it have to be dirty?" "No :)"

-- See, you pushed everyone away Walt- OH SNAP

Trimax Thoughts Vol. 2 Pt. 1

Miscellaneous stupid little thoughts for this volume again! Yippee!

...dude kills people with a saxophone. Okay then. Sure. I will incorporate this into my belief system.

This guy actually tried to warn them... the Gung-Ho Guns are actually really interesting. I hope to see some expansion on their individual motives.

LEGATO WTF. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

I swear he gets cuter in every volume. Look at him.

I would love to know where the GHG get their outfits from... are they like. Coordinating? Is leather in style? Ok, really though, I'm fascinated by the way Knives has... well... knives (or maybe spears?) that almost look like they are piercing his neck, and a big one that looks like it runs straight through his chest. Pointy bits to keep people away from his vulnerable throat and heart, I suppose? A mask to cover his face? Idk. His outfit is certainly a look.

"I just can't catch a break," Midvalley says, in what is a very normal reaction to being forcibly contorted in half on the floor.

They are such idiots together. Bless.

You walk up to someone, he tries to kill you with a sword then tells you he and his beleaguered assassin coworkers are there to cause you eternal suffering. Wdyd?

Hm. That's called sunk cost fallacy, my dude. (Also probably has a bit to do with maintaining honour or pride associated with sword technique... maybe.) Hey have you noticed that the assassins here tend to have one technique they've spent a lifetime mastering and then as soon as Vash manages to counter it that's... just kind of it for them? Monev spent 20 years training and then was nearly killed and just... stopped. EG Mine got his weird hamster ball destroyed and was basically useless after that. Dominique's trick was discovered and she chose to die by jumping rather than wait to be killed. And here, Rai-Dei sees his technique has been bested and immediately abandons his honour to try and stab Vash in the back. I need to take a closer look at this as I'm reading about the rest of them.

Yayyy girls! I love them.

I really appreciate Jessie btw. She sees that Meryl and Milly consider Vash a friend, and despite the fact that all she would've heard of him are the July and Fifth Moon incidents and rumours about his dangerousness, she decides purely based on how much the girls are excited to see him again that he's probably not a bad guy at all and she wouldn't mind meeting him. It's just nice to see random people in this world (that we've been shown over and over again is extremely inhospitable) giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Wolfwood's nightmare sequence. painpainpainpainpain

Vash concussion arc. Lol. (Also I have a lot of thoughts about the theme of protecting one's home that's coming up here... but more on that later)

AUGH???

"The models were dissected while alive" HOLY FUCK. WHAT. EVEN THE BABY? WHAT THE FUCK

The fact that Rai-Dei couldn't feel a single trace of death when challenging Vash but now both Leonof and Wolfwood are terrified because Vash is literally radiating death and pain at the loss of these people. Something something suppressing the force and overwhelm of his loss, which he's carried around inside him for such an inhumanly long time that it is literally overpowering and incomprehensibly terrifying. Something something he cares so much about his family and so very little for himself. Ha. I feel so normal about this.

Well, this was cheery.

If you're wondering why I said hardly anything about Wolfwood here... stay tuned. There will be a part two. :)

Hellooooo and WELCOME to first art tutorial sponsored by The Horrors ™️ for the more detailed lineless i do :3

This is a long post so im putting it under a readmore

Ok so basically just sketch first. Pretty easy to follow here. The second one doesn’t have to be perfect its just your guideline while coloring

So now its time for the fun part which is COLORING!!!

Turn the opacity down baby!!!!!!!!

Pick a part to outline first. Please do NOT do all your outline on the same layer . Also i advise against putting the coloring layer for the head and the rest of the skin on different layers so you can shade the neck better

Fill in

Same thing for the rest of the coloring. NOW. Shading.

I use the pencil #1 brush on ibis for this. Basically just shade broadly here

BLUR TOOL. Then on a separate layer go a little darker (i use pencil #2 here with a smaller scale) and fill in more specific details.

Blur :3 And that’s what it looks like without the sketch on top!

Then i add hair texture on top and turn the opacity down as much as i like

Okay skin shading!!! This is a little more in depth—still going broad, but you want to have the shading outlined on all of the skin. Only a little on the parts where the light hits it hardest but it needs to be there.

Blur tool yippee anyways you do the second shading here just like the first

So it ends up looking like this

Basically same thing for the rest of the stuff

Highlights!! Lighter color, kinda like reverse shading. Do NOT highlight as hard as done earlier with shading. A little goes a long way here

Change blending mode to add

Blur

Again, similar kind of process with the skin, lines a little more disconnected

Blur <3

Onto the face—i just trace off the sketch (hence why i do face details on a different layer than the rest of it)

It looks like this without the sketch

My FAVORITE PART: the iris. I do 3 shades of darker and 2 shades of lighter with a third as a circle

TAP with the blur tool. If you swipe it moves around the colors and it looks weird

Pretty much the same thing with the retina

Lighting on the eyes in solid white + i forgot to do anything with the gloves

After adding a background and effects, you get this! Yaaaay! Simple tutorial coming soon + i forgot to do lighting on the hair but its similar to everything else <3

First line of ten fics game!

Rules: Share the first line of the most recent fics you've written! (Rules can always be bent)

I was tagged by the always wonderful @oopsiedaisiesbaby. Much love, bestie!! <333

(Also, I'm gonna cheat a little bit and skip over some because they were the ones I wrote for Harringrove Week and they're already posted on here too, so... We're gonna go for ones that I haven't talked about on here before lol)

I Need You Like I Need A Broken Leg - (Steddie - T - Found/Secret Family AU - 36,562 Words - 10/? Chapters)

Steve wasn’t used to getting knocks on his door at 8:00 in the morning on Saturdays, or in general, and he was all set to just ignore it and go back to sleep, but whoever it was wouldn’t let up.

2. When I Come Around - (Harringrove - G - Prom Night and Secret Relationship - 2,121 Words)

“Come on! You have to tell me before it actually kills me,” Robin begged as she followed Steve around the store, not even trying to help him put the tapes back.

3. Cards on the Table, We're Both Showing Hearts - (Harringrove - M - Hurt/Comfort - 10,368 Words)

Max didn’t like the feeling coursing through her veins as soon as she got home from hanging out with El and the guys.

4. Whenever I'm Alone With You - (Harringrove/Mungrove/Steddie - M - Twin AU and Swapping Partners - 6,937 Words)

When the Hargrove twins rolled into the tiny town of Hawkins, Indiana, most people expected a Western Standoff between the two of them.

5. Anytime You Feel Danger or Fear, Then Instantly I will Appear - (Mungrove - T - 90s AU - 10,373 Words)

Eddie could hear the murmurs coming down the hall before he could see the thing that started them.

6. Yippee-ky-yay, Motherfucker - (Harringrove - G - Romantic Fluff - 2,435 Words)

Billy sighed as Hopper handed him three tickets to the movie Max and El had been begging to see, shoving them in his pocket and taking his keys from the hook by the door.

7. I Heard the Cry of What Might've Been - (Harringrove - M - Unrequited Love/Not Actually Unrequited Love - 10,152 Words)

Billy opened his locker on Friday afternoon with the same amount of enthusiasm as he did everyday, which is to say none at all.

8. And I Dream of Angels That Make Me Smile - (Harringroveson - T - Coming Out and Matchmaker Eddie - 8,321 Words)

“I don’t see what the big deal is, guys,” Eddie said to Robin, Billy and Steve as they sat around his living room, just hanging out and talking.

9. I'm Too Much - (Harringroveson - T - Christmas Fluff and Love Triangles - 22,066 Words)

This was the most humiliating thing Billy had ever done, which is certainly saying something.

10. Am I Alive and Well, or Am I Dreaming Dead? - (Harringrove - E - Suicide Attempts and Hurt/Comfort - 10,976 Words - 2/2 Chapters)

Earthquakes.

That’s the first thing Billy noticed when they moved to Hawkins, the lack of earthquakes.

I'm not gonna tag anyone because everybody who I normally would tag has done it already (I think?), but if you'd like to take part or you haven't done it yet, feel free to consider yourself tagged! And if this intrigues anyone enough to read any of my fics, I hope you enjoy them!

EEHEHEHE CHAINSAW MAN TUESDAY!!! New chapter time!!

Denji is sillygoofy as always (he makes me so ILL get my son OUTTA THERE). I still have beef with that WOMAN who was coming onto denji I don’t remember her name.

This shit scared me!! Got flashbacks to the first katana man fight. Using a real gun would kinda force denji to transform to survive, which he doesn’t really wanna do right now. Glad the gun was fake tho 🙏 gave me a SPOOK

Me every time Yoshida apparate like atp he must be following denji around 😭 leave him ALONE goddamn!

New reaction img just dropped. Also when denji becomes the one saying this you know there’s a fucking PROBLEM!!!

Grown women leave denji ALONE challenge (impossible). First Himeno now THIS! Unreal. I stay a hater.

HE ENJOYED THE FIGHT!! I really hope Denji wisens up and realizes he enjoys being chainsaw man soon, or like tells Yoshida to leave him alone and let him do what he wants. Chainsaw man is a part of him, and a part of his life. No one is normal, and “normal” for denji means fighting and killing devils as chainsaw man.

YIPPEE ASA TIME!! I love her so much it’s unreal. She’s so ill. Watching herself on the news, then saying she hates it because it’s too “invasive.” Then smiling at seeing herself on the news 😭. As always she’s my contradictory queen who doesn’t know what she wants! Also her and Yoru were very silly this chapter, always bickering. Their little “we’re doing this to save/kill chainsaw man” made me chuckle. I love them so much my skrunkles I wanna shrink them up and put them in my pocket.

Denji isn’t as big a fan of Asa as me 😭 she’s taking all his hoes!! I think it’s also a general distaste of the chainsaw man church, because yeah like what the hell. Imagine being a teenager who is also chainsaws sometimes and people making a church for YOU except you’re not a part of it and also it makes people like you less anyways. Insane.

he’s so real he’s so silly he’s so TIRED. My son he needs a nap. I can tell as part 2 continues denji is just so exhausted compared to part 1, he seems to enjoy his life less and less. I think it’s in part everything that happened in part 1 (he misses his family :() and everything happening now, he has new responsibilities and is still trying to please other people, as much as he tries not to. Seeing him actually enjoy his fight last chapter made me happy, I hope he gets more moments to really enjoy living as himself soon, no matter how decidedly NOT normal his life ends up being.

RETURN OF THE KING!! Not rly he was in like 2 chapters. It makes sense denji doesn’t recognize/remember him since he wasn’t really himself when they fought, iirc. I do wonder what he’s up to since, last we saw him, he was completely under makima’s control. It’s nice to see minor characters like him return from part 1, though I worry for his intentions. ALSO if he can come back. Maybe. Maybe reze can too. Maybe quanxi can too. (COPING). I hope for once this new person actually wants to help denji.

Also YIPPEE only a one week wait this time! I love you chainsaw man Tuesdays.
